Blackpink rewrote history with the music video for “Ddu-du Ddu-du” as it topped 2 billion views on YouTube.
It is the first video to reach the milestone in K-pop history, underlined label YG Entertainment on Wednesday. The megahit is the title track from its first EP “Square Up” that hit the Billboard 200 at No. 40 when it came out in 2018. The song was No. 55 on its Hot 100 chart while the music video was the most-viewed K-pop video in the year on the platform.
The quartet was named Entertainer of the Year by Time magazine, becoming the first girl group ever to do so. Its second full album “Born Pink” came out in August and landed atop both Billboard 200 and UK’s Official Chart, a first for a girl group in two decades.
Blackpink will resume its global tour starting in February 2023.
